A second purchasing option includes only the required red-topped blood tubes and test analysis. This option is packaged in quantities of 48, 72, 144 or 288 tubes/ tests and does not include the cost of shipping the blood tubes to the farm. Individual needles, needle holders and hazardous material shipping containers are sold separately.
DG29 is an easy-to-use bovine blood pregnancy test. Blood samples are drawn from cattle on the farm, forwarded to a certified laboratory (AgSource Laboratories in Menomonie, Wis.), and pregnancy diagnosis results are returned to the farm quickly and accurately. The DG29 test can be conducted on cows or heifers as early as 29 days post breeding. Cows must also be at least 90 days post calving before blood samples are collected. Performing the DG29 test on cows less than 90 days post calving may result in false positive test results; the pregnancy-related protein from the previous pregnancy may still be present. DG29 can also be used for pregnancy diagnosis of embryo transfer recipients if used on day 32 or later (embryo implanted at day 7 + 25 days = day 32).
How Accurate Are DG29 Test Results?
Research published in the Canadian Veterinary Journal has proven DG29 to be over 99 percent accurate. For the most accurate results, follow the blood collection timeline indicated above.
